Hi Niels,
We're in the process of rebuilding the hurd.gnu.org website. I was
wondering if you had some tutorials, howto or other that we might hook into
the website. The only link I have for lsh is:
http://www.net.lut.ac.uk/psst/
We would love to hook in some more lsh info or links if you can send them or
point us toward them.
Thx
Jim Franklin

It seems like reading the stdout of one of the programs (the first?)
fails. I have no idea what "Resource temporarily unavailable" would
mean in this context. Before reading, the code has called poll, and
at least one of POLLIN and POLLHUP was set.

That's a consequence of the entropy collector's failure earlier (the
background poll is actually a separate child process; it writes an
entropy estimate and a hash of the collected data to its stdout when
finished).

No, it doesn't depend on the keys.
